<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There have been complaints in the past about the time to review such communication when members feel that they are not interested in the topic. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I also see the other educational point of view and defer to our chair, Herr Tritt, to establish policy.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My prior understanding was that there was concern expressed by some members about being bombarded on a topic.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There is also the issue that some members may respond privately if they are concerned about others seeing the response (for various reasons), which is an option at any time if the e-mail address is given (otherwise

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">2) limited to the people communicating person to person.

(even if purely academic) and on almost all occasions these exchanges tend to be pertinent to either something I’m working on, something I’ve got on the back-burner, or something likely to present itself in the future (which is why I save these discussions
in my “Legal Research” folder for future reference). </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:black">J</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> Of course, if it’s something I genuinely

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">I got a bad ruling this afternoon and I was wondering if any of you know of some awesome caselaw that is on point off the top of your head…here’s the facts:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Plaintiff filed Claim of Lien on May 28, 2009, alleging the last work was done on March 4, 2009.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Plaintiff filed an Amended Claim of Lien on April 7, 2010, alleging the last work was done on March 2, 2010, but specifically stating that it was being filed to
amend the claim of lien from ’09.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Plaintiff filed suit to foreclose the Amended Claim of Lien on March 30, 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">We filed a Motion to Dismiss for the Defendant, stating that the Amended Claim of Lien was way too late, pursuant to §713.08(4)(b) and the case of
<u>Hayutin v. Cochran Const. Co., Inc</u>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">The Judge denied the Motion to Dismiss stating that since the Plaintiff was amending the last date of work performed, and since the amended claim of lien was filed
within 90 days of that new date, then it was timely. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">This seems to completely gut the statute and goes against the whole “strictly construed creature of statute” claim of lien law that I had learned. Am I crazy and
the Judge is right or is she off base and I should be filing a Motion for Rehearing as soon as I can?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
